• Aging in Place:  A growing number of older adults are expressing a desire to remain living in their homes for as long as possible.  This is oftentimes referred to as “aging in place.”  Clarence will advocate for greater funding of state programs that improve home-based services to serve our aging population.
  

• Transportation:  The need for accessible transportation is particularly important for older adults.  Clarence will support and expand programs like Howard County’s NeighborRide so that our older adults can go to their appointments and meetings.
  

• Housing:  Clarence will work with homebuilders to encourage them to make newly constructed homes friendlier for future generations who wish to age in place.  Housing will be more accessible by including bathrooms on the main floor, installing 36-inch wide doorways, and eliminating steps to the front door of a home.
